Company history
NYLO Hotels was founded in 2004 by a team of hotel executives led by Michael Mueller. Co-founder Michael Mueller has also served as CEO since 2011. Previously, Mueller was an executive with Starwood Capital Group and Starwood Hotels & Resorts, one of the largest hotel groups in the world.

NYLO stands for New York lofts in which the company models its hotels after. When the company first began operating after its founding, it was headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. At the end of 2007, NYLO opened its pioneering hotel in Plano, Texas, later followed by two more hotels in the Dallas/Ft. Worth district. NYLO also has hotels in Rhode Island and New York City. The company remained based out of Atlanta until 2011 when it relocated to the Dallas area.
Features
The NYLO Hotel brand features urban styled guestrooms combining old buildings with modern design.
